FO: Tara's Christmas Mitts

Here in the Midwest it is still pretty chilly. So chilly indeed that one could make practical use of a Christmas gift even if it was say, four months late.


I made these mitts for my friend Tara as a belated Christmas gift. Knit flat you seem these suckers up the side leaving a gap for your thumb to fit. Throw some cute buttons on (fabric covered of course!) and you've got yourself an adorable set of hand warmers.


I know that Tara appreciates grey and yellow together almost as much as I do, so I couldn't resit popping a cute little bee covered fabric button on each of them.

Hopefully you'll be much smarter than I was and actually make these in a reasonable amount of time for someone to use them. I can't count on an April snow storm to save my late Christmas gift giving behind every time.

      I'm not happy that you can still use them in April (why don't we live in a warmer place?!?!) But I am really glad you like them!

    So cute with the buttons. And a good way to use up just one skein.

      These took less than half a skein of Caron Simply Soft, such a good quick stash buster!

    Very cute! I busted out my wool coat and a hat for a visit to Indianapolis over the weekend, and I could have used some mitts to go with!
